 Thank You, Century of Values Team 10!
The weather could not have been more made-to-rder when the Century of Values bus pulled into the Herbert Hoover National Historic Site in West Branch on Sunday, September 13. Cub Scouts were waiting. The West Branch Times covered the stop. For that full story, click here.
According to Team Leader Lou Pezet, the 300 birthday card signatures gathered at the West Branch stop represents a new attendance record for Team 10 stops. Thanks to everyone who came to West Branch! To read the On the Road blogs from the Century of Values volunteers, click here.
